broadcasts

A first program under this title was shown on June 17, 2013 and achieved market shares of over 20% in the group of 14 to 49 year old viewers. A year earlier, on May 30, 2012, there was a program on RTL under the title Günter Wallraff covers! The latest case of the undercover specialist has run, which earned him a nomination for the German Television Prize 2012 in the reportage category.

A new edition of Team Wallraff in the form of a season with initially three episodes was broadcast from April 28, 2014. The 71-year-old Wallraff supports young reporters as a consultant and interviews employees of the companies visited who are affected by poor working conditions, but occasionally also slips into undercover roles himself.

Bad working conditions for housekeeping in luxury hotels and bad conditions for staff and residents in nursing homes were shown in reports. Other companies visited included the mail order company Zalando and the fast-food restaurant chain Burger King . In the course of the uncovering of precarious working conditions and poor hygiene at Burger King, two branches of the fast food chain were temporarily closed. In response to the Team Wallraff revelations, Burger King announced in a statement that it wanted to make the negatively noticed franchisee Ergün Yildiz more accountable. On November 21, 2014, Burger King of Yi-Ko Holding banned the further use of the brand name by means of an injunction . At that time, Yi-Ko operated 89 Burger King branches with around 3,000 employees. In December 2014, the Burger King franchisee Yi-Ko filed for bankruptcy at the Stade District Court.

No. 4

On March 16, 2015, a new edition of the program was broadcast. In this broadcast, Wallraff showed conditions in various German job centers, including a chronic shortage of staff, which resulted in delayed and inadequate processing of applications and benefits, as well as senseless measures that were actually supposed to serve integration into the labor market, such as B. the walking of llamas.

No. 7

The program “Profit instead of Health”, which was shown on January 11, 2016, reported on the shortage of staff and poor hygiene in several clinics, including the Helios Clinics and the Harlaching Clinic in Munich. Those responsible admitted that there was some catching up to do, but the Harlaching Clinic criticized the statements made in the program as being too generalized . Following the broadcast, the Helios Kliniken filed a complaint against RTL and the production company infoNetwork with the Hamburg Regional Court . The ad was granted and RTL prohibited from republishing or distributing the recorded footage.

No. 14

In the run-up to the broadcast of the episode “Behind Closed Doors - Undercover in Psychiatry and Youth Welfare” on March 18, 2019, the station received over 25 legal threats. The reporters were among others in Frankfurt ( Frankfurt Höchst Clinic ), Stuttgart ( Furtbach Hospital ), Berlin (Vivantes Spandau Clinic ) and in the Eifel (Case Project's youth welfare facility in Wanderath). The St. Marien Hospital in Eickel in Herne made a positive impression .
